Wizards guard Jordan Poole is trending on social media this Friday simply because of rapper Rubi Rose’s latest announcement.
Rose, 26, revealed that she’ll be in the nation’s capital this Friday. She tweeted, “DC tonight.”
Even though Rose’s plans for tonight are unclear, NBA fans are convinced she’ll attend the Knicks-Wizards game.
If that happens, the basketball world will expect an elite performance from Poole tonight.
DC tonight … 🥂

Poole has been somewhat disappointing this season for the Wizards, averaging 16.2 points per game on 40.6 percent shooting from the field. He hasn’t scored at least 20 points in a game since Nov. 6 against the 76ers.
To make matters worse, the Wizards are 2-9. Only the Pistons have a worse record in the Eastern Conference.
We’ll see if Poole can light up the Knicks tonight, with or without Rose in attendance.
